“It’s Uecker magic,” said Bonnie Bruhn, a 79-year-old Brewers fan from the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis, Wisconsin. As the Brewers prepare to spend this weekend honoring Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker, fans are hoping the team can pay tribute to him by making the deep playoff run that has eluded this franchise lately.

Christian Yelich had arguably his best game of the season while paying homage to late legendary announcer Bob Uecker.

The 13-game winning streak ties the 1987 team for the longest in a single season in Brewers history. That 1987 team won its first 13 games of the season. Add in the final three games of 1986, and the team record is a 16-game winning streak spanning 1986-87. The 13-gamer ties the Minnesota Twins for longest winning streak in baseball this year.

Christian Yelich had two homers among his four hits and drove in five runs as the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a seven-run deficit to beat the Cincinnati Reds 10-8 for their club record-tying 13th straight victory.

Any concern about the major-league-leading Milwaukee Brewers losing three straight games for the first time since May 7-10 clearly is not shared by Christian Yelich.

Turang and Sal Frelick each had two hits as the Brewers opened a seven-game lead over Chicago in the NL Central. Milwaukee took the finale in a five-game series at Wrigley Field after the Cubs won three straight.
